Here’s hoping the shakeup of the WAC creates a domino effect that forces Pacific to aggressively seek and ultimately gain entry into the WCC and leave the Big West, one of the nation’s most obscure and irrelevant conferences. Men’s basketball is the only sport that matters financially at Pacific. The Tigers should be in the best conference they [...]

Bye bye CIT

By Bob Highfill | Published: April 1, 2010 | 0 Comments
Pacific athletic director Lynn King and Tigers men’s basketball coach Bob Thomason agree that the team’s recent sojourn across the country and back to play in the CollegeInsider.com Postseason Tournament wasn’t worth the players’ time away school, not to mention the travel headaches due to ludicrous scheduling by the tournament’s organizers. Pacific was seeded 11th in the 16-team tournament that features [...]

Tough Tigers

By Bob Highfill | Published: March 26, 2010 | 0 Comments
Say what you will. Snicker if you must. The CollegeInsider.com Postseason Tournament isn’t March Madness or the NIT or even the CBI. But it’s competition.

After three wins [...]

Tigers ugly in bounce-back win

By Bob Highfill | Published: March 1, 2010 | 0 Comments
The Tigers men’s basketball team snapped its two-game home losing streak with a hard-fought, 10-point win over Long Beach State on Saturday in their regular-season home finale. The Tigers won, but it was ugly. Again, their offense was spotty, they lacked flow and cohesion. Every coach wants his team to be peaking at this time in the season. Pacific [...]

White Out

By Jagdip Dhillon | Published: February 20, 2010 | 0 Comments
The crowd has mostly filed in at Spanos Center and the plans to have a white out on ESPNU should work. Extra credit goes to athletic director Lynn King for wearing white pants to go with his white shirt and the Orange Army for actually painting themselves white with Tiger stripes.

Ford a cautious go
